Re: C50 Owners

It's all a function of ratios. For an old tow rig, especially with a 6 banger, having a low top speed in return for having the pulling ability to tow is the trade off. Remember, when this was built, speeds were lower than they are today.

Only way you are going to get better top speed is to add an overdrive of some type and/or change the rear gears.
